Ethical Issues and Tactics
I hate to hire Black people; they are all so slow in doing their work. Sometimes they come to work and sometimes they do not come at all. No wonder they are stuck in poverty, they do not want to succeed.
"Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin. However when you hire black people, you may get one out of 20 that are sincere about their job and are always on time and actually do their work. Can you imagine the money a company spends on training? Only to turn right back around and train another person who usually does the same thing.
In this essay the Civil Act Rights of all black people was violated by categorizing them as all being the same which is really and unethical act within itself. By taking the personal belief of one person and dehumanizing all black people based on their personal feelings toward one race. This is against the law, however is it sad to say; you can find it being used, say and implemented in the world today. Due to law, most of the time it is practiced behind closed doors, and in personal conversations between people who share the same beliefs.
When issues such as this are addressed in public it takes the form of an dogmatism ethical fallacies which wants the audience to believe there is no other way to believe but their way, as well as Ad hominem ethical fallacies which attacks a person’s character rather than a person’s reasoning.
Dehumanize of any race as a whole is unethical and should not be an issue in this world at this time and era. Most audiences that are address is this way are usually behind closed doors, or in a personal conversation between people who share the same feelings.
